Add as much information and media as you can, including a business profile photo, the area you serve, your hours, attributes (e.g., “wheelchair accessible,” “free wifi”), the day and year you opened, and a public phone number and website URL.
Anyone can “suggest an edit” to your listing by clicking on the three dots in the right corner, so it‘s important to A) get everything right the first time (so you don’t encourage random people to make their own changes) and B) periodically log into your GMB dashboard and make sure all the details look right.

At any point in time, you can edit your business profile by logging into your GMB dashboard, clicking on “Info,” clicking the pencil next to the field you'd like to edit, making your change, and then choosing “Apply.”

Expert tip: “Create a listing for each location and bahrain phone number material skip the copy-and-paste. Each description should be unique so Google can tell these are two different businesses operating under the same umbrella. If each profile is a carbon copy, it could look suspicious to Google, and your ranking may suffer. That said, you shouldn’t need to manage everything manually, so use a tool to manage multiple profiles from a centralized location,” says Brooke Webber, head of marketing at Ninja Patches
Regarding optimizing your listing, I also spoke with Sergey Galanin, the SEO director at Phonexa, who pointed out that one common mistake is not keeping the details on your website in sync with your GMB.
If there’s inconsistency between your site and GMB, it can confuse potential customers. They might come across conflicting information and get skeptical about your business and what you offer.
